END OF THE GAME SEASON. Tho GlfflO Law to bo Eigidly Ellforcod. Having succeed in procuring the paasogo of nn efficient gamo law, tho Sportsmen's Club of ibis cily intend to see that its provisions aro enforced, so fur, at I oast, as St. Louis is con cerned. Persons hunting or dealing in game should taKO nntico mat "tlio game is blocked" for a season. Them will be no more quail on toast until September, no mora broiled prairie chicken the. eav. er; no juicy phoa9iint or woodcoctc until tho dog days are past; no savory venison stonks, no snipe, no meadow lark not even a turtle devo or robin, from this limo until September. Wild turkey can be oaten until the first of April, and that is about ull the game that ts tolerated at present, wun tno excoption of snipe and ducks. This may seem hurd upon the lintel koopers and restaurateurs, and very binding upon epicures and gourmands, but it is absolutely necessary in order to preserve tho game of the country from extermination. It is surprising how much game is consumed in St. Louis in' a single season. At the ralo at which tho birds have been killed and sent to this market, it will require but a few years to rid the forests and firairies of their winged denizens, and eave the next generation without a bird to swear by. But an etlort is new made to preserve tho game bird not only for ourselves, but for posterity, and there is no doubt that the law can bo enforced if the members of tbe society will do their duty. The market houses and depots should be visited daily by agents of the society, and any person found violating the law should b promptly arrested and finod. A few nrroNts will put a stop to the con- tmband trufflo and proyenifulHre trouble. Above all it Is hoped that the members of the society will adhere to their own rules, and not shout came out of season, a thoy have been known to do in limes past. lit. Louit Uttpntch. .

A rccont disputch from Wash ington says : Gon. Harney, whose namo was such a terror to hostilo Indians years ago, was before the Hoiiso Committee on Military affairs to-day, and was asked to giro his views in rofsreiico to Indi an matters, lie gavo it ns his opinion that if tho Indians wero treated fairly, there would neror be any difficulties with them. He had known but two instances in which they hnd ever violated treaty stipulations, and in these two instances the Indinns wero to be exoussd, for the treaties had grown old before tboy ware sought ts be en forced by the govern men t nnd tlio chief and head man who had made them were all dead. Tho troubles with tho Indians were principally caused by fraudulent agent and whisky dealers. H had never known nn Indian agent who bad not grown rich in office, except one. Ott being asked how whisky selling could be suppressed, ho answered without hesitation that thay should bo hanged or shot by the nourost military officer. Ue would have the officer take the responsibility. He was decidedly of the opinion that the management of the Iudians would bo much mure efficiently and honestly conducted by army officers than by civilians, unless army officers had changed very mush sinco he knew llicm. All tho signs at present aro in favor ef Ilia continued supremacy of the simple, charming designs introduced during the past year. The narrow skirts long, or carefully guarded for the streots, laid flat nt the sides and in front, und only exhibitingjustenough of tournure to make them graceful, are still in vogue; and by extremists are exaggerated tnt robes winch toro- blv recall tha dresses of Josephine, and those historical portraits of the first empire, which have furnishod so much ol interest and suggestion to later time. Of course, styles whioh reproduce historical epoch, and make the wearera look as if ibey had (topped out from a frame at the Louvre, or nn ancestral piciuro gallery, will not bo-come common, but they sustain th general tendency to certain restricted designs, and preserve the modern Ides of close trailing drapery, as last perfection of slegance and style.

END OF THE GAME SEASON. Tho GlfflO Law to bo Eigidly Ellforcod. Having succeed in procuring the paasogo of nn efficient gamo law, tho Sportsmen's Club of ibis cily intend to see that its provisions aro enforced, so fur, at I oast, as St. Louis is con cerned. Persons hunting or dealing in game should taKO nntico mat "tlio game is blocked" for a season. Them will be no more quail on toast until September, no mora broiled prairie chicken the. eav. er; no juicy phoa9iint or woodcoctc until tho dog days are past; no savory venison stonks, no snipe, no meadow lark not even a turtle devo or robin, from this limo until September. Wild turkey can be oaten until the first of April, and that is about ull the game that ts tolerated at present, wun tno excoption of snipe and ducks. This may seem hurd upon the lintel koopers and restaurateurs, and very binding upon epicures and gourmands, but it is absolutely necessary in order to preserve tho game of the country from extermination. It is surprising how much game is consumed in St. Louis in' a single season. At the ralo at which tho birds have been killed and sent to this market, it will require but a few years to rid the forests and firairies of their winged denizens, and eave the next generation without a bird to swear by. But an etlort is new made to preserve tho game bird not only for ourselves, but for posterity, and there is no doubt that the law can bo enforced if the members of tbe society will do their duty. The market houses and depots should be visited daily by agents of the society, and any person found violating the law should b promptly arrested and finod. A few nrroNts will put a stop to the con- tmband trufflo and proyenifulHre trouble. Above all it Is hoped that the members of the society will adhere to their own rules, and not shout came out of season, a thoy have been known to do in limes past. lit. Louit Uttpntch. .

A rccont disputch from Wash ington says : Gon. Harney, whose namo was such a terror to hostilo Indians years ago, was before the Hoiiso Committee on Military affairs to-day, and was asked to giro his views in rofsreiico to Indi an matters, lie gavo it ns his opinion that if tho Indians wero treated fairly, there would neror be any difficulties with them. He had known but two instances in which they hnd ever violated treaty stipulations, and in these two instances the Indinns wero to be exoussd, for the treaties had grown old before tboy ware sought ts be en forced by the govern men t nnd tlio chief and head man who had made them were all dead. Tho troubles with tho Indians were principally caused by fraudulent agent and whisky dealers. H had never known nn Indian agent who bad not grown rich in office, except one. Ott being asked how whisky selling could be suppressed, ho answered without hesitation that thay should bo hanged or shot by the nourost military officer. Ue would have the officer take the responsibility. He was decidedly of the opinion that the management of the Iudians would bo much mure efficiently and honestly conducted by army officers than by civilians, unless army officers had changed very mush sinco he knew llicm. All tho signs at present aro in favor ef Ilia continued supremacy of the simple, charming designs introduced during the past year. The narrow skirts long, or carefully guarded for the streots, laid flat nt the sides and in front, und only exhibitingjustenough of tournure to make them graceful, are still in vogue; and by extremists are exaggerated tnt robes winch toro- blv recall tha dresses of Josephine, and those historical portraits of the first empire, which have furnishod so much ol interest and suggestion to later time. Of course, styles whioh reproduce historical epoch, and make the wearera look as if ibey had (topped out from a frame at the Louvre, or nn ancestral piciuro gallery, will not bo-come common, but they sustain th general tendency to certain restricted designs, and preserve the modern Ides of close trailing drapery, as last perfection of slegance and style.
